Ouch. 
From what you've said I gather you were okay though, and that's the important thing. Cars can always be fixed or replaced.

Yep, just a little back and neck pain, and some harness marks on the upper body. It was good that the wall moved as it would have been a lot worse had i hit something solid. That big wall moved a fair way - over 10 metres. The camera was mounted on adjustble arms to get it sitting higher, so you don't get to see how far that wall flew. I often think back at how ordinary (in a good way)a day it had of been if i had of braked a little more and stayed on the track.

Looks like you got air once you left the track?

It did get a little air coming back onto the road bit before the tyre wall. But nothing much.
